Oh no, you're definitely upset with me.
No.
You're a sensitive soul, aren't you, Red?
Yes.
I never agreed with the insults, just the general message that the person deserves no time/respect.
I know you didn't insult him, i am just saying that
an eye for an eye in this case is just silly. His tweets are misinformed, but hey, since Jason reads here, he is free to address me personally. I would appreciate that a lot more than throwing snakes at me from behind the barn where Nana has no neighbors considering those tweets generated zero likes or responses.
Do you understand why I called him a virgin and loser? Because I looked through his twitter feed, saw that he was tweeting about transphobia and smash bros racism on NYE, and knew it was what would cut straight to the bone.
A triggered being, yeah, but then you should see which people the famous folks at ERA nominate as poster of the year.
Spoiler, one is a dog who account suicided with the same flawed rhetoric as Nana here (Fat4all) and our dear and beloved Ketkat listed Robin, Jacob.Armitage and SweetNicole as her faves. Literally the cream, the crap and the cruel (In random order) of ERA, thinking that hyperbolical oversensitivity regarding every single topic about trans rights/race is
the answer to push majority consensus to a more positive trans-friendly world.
I think your intentions are good but you don't see that you're not actually helping people by shielding them from being ridiculed for behaving ridiculously. These kinds of behaviours need to be nipped in the bud when they first appear, otherwise you end up with adults behaving like children, and there aren't many things more pathetic than an adult who never grew up.
And calling them a virgin and a loser on a forum is going to nip them in the bud... how exactly? You don't have to take your personality test
that seriously.
The self esteem movement of the last 20 or so years has conditioned us to see shaming, mocking and ridicule as pathological without understanding why those social mechanisms exist in the first place. We are seeing the end result of that conditioning applied on a generational scale and I'm pushing back against it because it does more harm than good. Self esteem has to be earned otherwise it's worthless and you end up with manchildren like the guy I was mocking.
So basically you are the bully in the classroom from most people's youth* still doing the same thing but now using '
'I am just being blunt'' and
''conditioning and i am pushing back against that'' as your justifications for doing the same thing.
*I was not bullied in my youth, by the way. Atleast not nameworthy, as everyone gets picked on atleast a few times when you are young.
